New Ferrari Roma

Most supercars are highly sophisticated in terms of design. We have already witnessed Ferrari doing that and therefore, Roma’s design language deserves a special mention this time. To be precise, it features a long bonnet hood, radiator grille, sleek LED headlamps, sloping roofline and a neatly finished rear end with four taillights and quad exhausts. The side profile of the updated supercar sports large alloy wheels with minimum curves and creases.

Inside the cabin, it remains practical, unlike any other hardcore supercar. The brand has evolved a lot in recent times and when it comes to the interior, Ferrari Roma features a multi-functional steering wheel, an intuitive fully digital instrument cluster, touchscreen infotainment display, co-passenger display unit, well-contoured sports seats and a neatly finished centre console among others.

You cannot doubt a Ferrari when it comes to performance. Putting it in numbers, the new Roma can clock a triple-digit speed in just 3.4 seconds with a top speed rated at 320kmph.

Wondering from where is this power coming from? Well, it uses an award-winning 3.9-litre twin-turbocharged V8 engine that churns out a massive 620PS of power and 760Nm of peak torque. This time, Ferrari has trusted an 8-speed DCT gearbox for all the transmission duties with paddle shifters as standard.
